A 36-year-old man has been arrested after an incident in which a police officer was hit by a vehicle.

The female officer was speaking to a man sitting in a black Nissan Juke car at Sainsbury’s, Grantham, at around 9.40 am today (7th October) when the car reversed and struck her. 

The car was then driven out of the car park, heading south on the A52 and out of the town on Bridge End Road.

The officer sustained severe head injuries, including a fracture to her skull and was rushed to hospital by the East Midlands Ambulance Service. 

The full extent of her injuries are not yet known.

Officers pursued the suspect and arrested him within the hour, on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision. 

He was then further arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving, and possession of cannabis.

Chief Superintendent Jon McAdam: 

“This was a shocking incident in which an officer was injured while simply carrying out their duties.

“We acted quickly to arrest the suspect and investigations are continuing.

“While we work to find out more about the incident, it’s worth repeating that it is never acceptable for officers to be assaulted and it should not be considered ‘part of the job’.

“It is a stark reminder of the dangers our staff face on a daily basis to help keep people safe.

“I’d urge anyone who saw the incident, or who has information or dashcam footage, to get in touch as it may help our investigation.”

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

    The attacks on Police and other blue light responders is a heinous crime which should bring lengthy sentences not just ie, twelve months out in six.
    Our Police Officers put on a uniform and work to protect us so it’s about time they too were protected so they can go home to their families.

    I hope the officer makes a full and speedy recovery.
    Crimes like this should be attempted murder, they are in charge of l large heavy weapon. Our Police Officers need the proper protection of the law.
